Changes

Despite losing an Attack Moon during the Battle for [[Port Sanctus]], the Beast was able to successfully position another directly over [[Terra]].{{Fn|4}} As the galaxy burned, Imperial forces sought out the Beast's homeworld, which was believed to be [[Ullanor]].{{Fn|5}} The Imperials under the returned [[Vulkan]] eventually led a massive invasion of Ullanor in a final gamble to slay the Beast, who revealed his strategic cunning by drawing the invaders into urban kill-zones as opposed to confronting them directly. The Beast intended to delay the Imperials on Ullanor long enough until the converted "attack planet" could teleport to [[Terra]] using the Attack Moon still in its orbit and wipe out the throneworld once and for all. However Vulkan was able to lead an Astartes strike directly into the part-palace part-[[Gargant]] of the Beast in his capital of Gorkogrod and confront the creature directly. As per Vulkan's wishes [[Lord Commander]] [[Koorland]] evacuated his forces from the temple and allowed the [[Primarch]] to fight The Beast directly. During their duel, The Beast revealed he spoke perfect Imperial Gothic, gloating that humanity was on its knees and he would be its end. Vulkan tackled the Warboss and they both fell into the temple-gargants power generator, where the Primarch became imbued with massive amounts of Waaagh! energies. Rather than be consumed by the energies as so many other men had, Vulkan used his primal and savage essence to become one with it and launch one last attack. He slammed Doomtremor into The Beast's face and detonated the generator, causing a chain reaction that shattered the temple-gargant and seemingly obliterating them both.{{Fn|6}}
